AS TO THE NATIONAL GUARD.
. o-
Acting Adjutant-General Geoghe
Kan and his man Friday, H. M. H.
Lund evidently believe the end jus
tifies' the means, when they override
law and custom in firing men, and
electing officers for the skeleton or
ganizations of the National Guard.
The acting adjutant-general caused
some surprise by Bummarily dismiss
ing a lot of batterymen a few days
ago under an article of war providing
that a court-martial should sit, but the
crowning portion of the business was
In the holding of an election for offi
cers with but nine men qualified to
vote, when according to law the or
ganization should have been mustered
out. Nor was this the most Impor
tant feature of the affair. The elec
tion, which by all the ethics, should
have been made public, was a dark
lantern affair, conducted by "Colonel"
Lund, and nine votes only were cast.
Think of a battery electing officers
with nino men. Wouldn't that jar
rnn?
The result of the election was the
selection of Hyrum A. Barton for cap
tain, Sergeant H. W. Adams for first
lieutenant, while the position of sec
ond lleuteniint was left vacant. Why
this should have been done when
there were six more men in the line of
promotion is one of the profound mys
teries that attaches to the govern
ment of the guard by Geoghegan and
Lund. Lieutenant Leonard, who has
declined to resign through the trou
ble, was given the go by, and will
doubtless resign, for "business rea
sons." Then another election will bo
held, surreptitiously perhaps.
Despite all reports to the contrary,
the guard is In a devil of a state. And
so far as the showing goes it is hard
o see how matters arc going to bo
Jmprovod. The management of nf
'airs is such that almost all the alle
gations of the knocker's organ aro
being dally proven and demonstrated,
yet the officials in charge rush blind-
ahead In nn effort to do something
to save them from the embarrassment
01 a small attendance at the coming
encampment.

because men who have worked and
are willing to work have been snub

tempt and relegated to the rear while
others have enjoyed tho trait of the
labors of the industrious class That's
what ails tho guard and all tho talfy

National Guard is all right aro errors
and of a misleading character. It Is

Governor Cutler will do well to
study tho history of guard organiza
tions in other states. Take the Kencl
bles of Philadelphia lor example. The
battalion is not made up of rich men,
as Is tho First City Troop, yet a man
desiring to enlist has to stay on the
waiting list many months sometimes.
The companies are nearly always lull.
Here the waiting list Is made up ot
men who desire to either resign their
commissions or obtain their dis
charges. In other states when a com
pany, troop or battery tails below the
minimum It Is promptly mustered out.
Here nine men elect officers. In
other states when an organization Is
mustered out another place promptly
fills the vacancy by tho organization
of a similar company. Here wo go
about begging tho young men to en
list. The governor will ascertain, if
he wants to, that there ls something
rotten in Denmark and the sooner he
makes an investigation on his own
account the better for the National
Guard of Utah. At this writing there
isn't a company enlisted up to the
minimum standard required by law
and there hasn't been for live years.
Nor will there be in five more unless
a radical change takes place.
